Hey John. This functionality is going to be nice to have. Been playing with it off and on today, and I like it.

FWIW, on a bare-metal install it's not all that bad really. Regardless, I'm somewhat confused about what you're proposing in the meantime: > Given the above fact: > Default Startup (to get this just uncheck: "Edit->Preferences: Remember > Current State on Startup"): > - Starts in Publisher (Search All), showing the Publisher (Search All) > help page.

So All Publisher behaves just like any other > publisher. If you have chosen to see the Start Page you will see it on > startup. Are you suggesting that users toggle this setting on an as-needed basis to address the load time issue? Also, All Publishers (Installed) and All Publishers (Search) seem redundant now. Are those going to be removed from the Publisher combo box? Take care. --joanie _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
